Cordova Raceway Park

[Postsedan]

I drove out Friday to Cordova Raceway Park to visit my friend as he prepares his wife to drag race there 1969 Chevelle.

The Chevelle is a real 1969 SS Monaco Orange Chevelle converted in sheeps clothing to look like a 1968 L79 Chevelle.

The car weighs 3200lbs with his wife in it....it is a naturally aspirated 327....powerglide with 5 series spool.
The car runs 10:80`s at 125mph all day long.

The gal driving the Chevelle is Stephanie Diekema, Jason Lines sister. Fast car!!!

[Salvatore]

Yea, Now we are talking real race cars Stock/Superstock cars. That ain't no L79 chevelle Dan. Probably a 327/275 horse car. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[Kim_Howie]

Dan, GREAT pictures! This is what I love Stock/Superstock Divisional meets. These events will beat any car show IMO!! Thanks for sharing. Sam http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Which part was 'stock' http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Kim_Howie]

That's the impresive part about stock they are legal stock except the cam duration, slicks and wheelie bars. This is her husband John with his B/S nova

[Mr70]

..at Rt.66 Raceway in Joliet Il. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

That intake didn't look stock to me http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif Can you define 'legal stock' http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Heck, the cert. stock program at the PSMCDR has issues, I can only imagine what issues the NHRA has when defining 'stock'.

I like watching the stock, s/stock and p/stock classes the best. How you can beat the Dutch Classic at MGR in October? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Kim_Howie]

Marlin, the intake was on Stephs car it's a Super Stocker they can run any intake and cam everything has to be stock, carb, bore, stroke, compression, piston, rod, crank weight. must be stock. Stock has to have all including the intake and cam have to be stock. Do I have you confused yet?? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

[Salvatore]

Can't beat the Dutch at the Grove especially when you can see a certain young lad playing with his toy dragster on the bleachers!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

I'm confused enough already, I'll stick with my whitewalls http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Benjamin is itching for junior dragsters, only two years to go! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

[Salvatore]

See, There you go! You must be doin something rite! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[Chevy454]

Today's NHRA 'stock' is the Super/Stock back in the day...used to, the only big components you could change were exhaust/tires...in fact, the rules for the Pure Stock Muscle Car Drags event that we run in are almost verbatim of the 'stock' rules from the early-mid '60s.
